TheSaints Rowserieshas changedfrom semi-serious to being a completely different series altogether. At one time it wascalled a cloneof theGrand Theft Autoseries, butSaints Rowhas become very different. One aspect that helpedSaints Rowchange was the inclusion of ridiculous weapons.

Some of these weapons are somewhat realistic, such as having shock paddles that can be used against enemies; however, others are more ridiculous and emphasize the franchise’s cartoonish mayhem. No matter which weapon the player chooses to useon missions, they are sure to find one they fall in love with.
10Apoca-Fist
The Apoca-Fists can be found inSaints Row: The Thirdafter completing the mission Murderbrawl XXXI. Players will get this weapon if they kill Killbane during the mission. The Apoca-Fists appear as oversized versions of Killbane’s hands, allowing the player to use the wrestler’s powers.
Punching an enemy with the fists will cause them to explode into a gory mess. The weapon also appears as a reskin inTeam Fortress 2for any player that pre-orderedSaints Row: The Thirdon Steam.
9Shock Paddles
Shock Paddles are used by the paramedics inSaints Row 2to revive anyone who got in the player’s way. They can also be used by the player as a weapon. It takes about three shocks to eliminate police and gang members, but it takes less to take out any citizen of Stilwater.
The fun part about this weapon is the player can use it to revive any target that they killed. It can also be used to revive teammates who are downed near the player. It is unique to find a weapon that can bring death and bring life.
8Shark-O-Matic
The Shark-O-Matic can be found inSaints Row: The Thirdin theShark Attack PackDLC. It shoots chum all over a target, making a shark attack the unfortunate victim. The best part of this whole thing is that the shark will attack the target from anywhere.

Seeing a shark appear out of concrete and eat a person whole is very entertaining to watch. The weapon does not work against Brutes, as they are too big for the shark to attack.
7Tiny Pistol
This weapon can be found in a secret basement underneath Let’s Pretend inSaints Row IV.The player can access the basement by shooting the “Employee’s Only” door. The Tiny Pistol does not need ammo, instead only needing to be charged.
The pistol is also an instant-hit weapon, meaning it is easy to hit targets with and is very accurate. The only downsides to this weapon are the slow recharge rate, the slow fire rate, and the knockback effect it has.
6Tentacle Bat
The tentacle bat can be found inSaints Row IV,which is very fitting for a game about aliens. It is similar to a regular baseball bat, except it is the tentacle of an alien. It also wobbles around as the player runs.
It is unlocked after completingKinzie’s Customization quest. It can be upgraded and have its color changed. It also has an ultimate upgrade, which can be used to crush cars.
5Dubstep Gun
TheDubstep Gun is found inSaints Row IVand requires a charge to be fired. The songs being played by the gun can also be changed depending on the skin the player uses. More songs are also available in theDubstep Gun (Remix) Packand theHow the Saints Save ChristmasDLC.

The weapon causes people to dance and vehicles to bounce up in the air. Players are able to make their own dance party in the streets of Steelport.
4Mollusk Launcher
The Mollusk Launcher was included in theFuntime! PackforSaints Row: The Third.Players can use the launcher to shoot octopi at enemies and then detonate them. The best part is that the octopi stick to the enemies. The weapon can also be used to take control of enemies, causing them to fight for the player.
The Mollusk Launcher cannot be used against Brutes, but the Brutes can still be damaged by the octopus' explosion. The weapon is also weaker than the RPG and Grenade Launcher.
3Swarmitron
The Swarmitron was introduced toSaints Row: The ThirdinThe Trouble With ClonesDLC. This weapon is unique, as the ammo is live bees. It was designed by an ally of the player to protect Pierce from large crowds of fans. Sadly, it can only be used in one mission.

The weapon is also most likely not going to be lethal, instead only being used to chase off fans. Hopefully, nobody in the crowd is allergic to bees.
2Plunger Gun
The Plunger Gun is introduced toSaints Row IVin theGrass Roots Pack.This weapon does exactly what its name suggests – it shoots a toilet plunger at enemies. The plunger sticks to the enemy and explodes, damaging them.
It might not do a lot of damage, but it is humorous to see a toilet plunger stuck to an enemy for a few seconds. By upgrading the weapon all the way, gas will come off of the plunger, killing multiple enemies.
1Black Hole Launcher
The Black Hole Launcher is exactly what it sounds like – a gun that launches black holes at enemies. It is found inSaints Row IVand sucks enemies into the black hole. It does not kill Wardens and Marauders instantly, but it still damages them.
By completing missions, the player is able to upgrade the Black Hole Gun, such as more ammo and a recharge upgrade. The weapon is extremely effective against enemies and even vehicles. Using this weapon is sure to give players a huge advantage.
